After receiving the call back from the headquarters, Sui Changqing was shocked by the content above, but he was relieved in his heart. [.//He did not expect that the headquarters not only failed to hold the commander accountable, but also continued to grant Du Kaishan the overall position.
Overall situation on the Eastern Front, commanding the next battle in Dongning and Hunchun. They even airlifted two battalions of reinforcements specifically for the third vertical that suffered heavy casualties.
Although the reinforcements of these two battalions are a drop in the bucket for the three columns that are in urgent need of reinforcements, this is the first time that the troops have received supplementary troops since their eastward march. Although the headquarters’ true intention of doing so was not guessed, the headquarters
Sui Changqing was greatly relieved that Du Kaishan was not held accountable.
The reason why he was shocked by the contents of the telegram drafted by No. 1 himself was not because he, Sui Changqing, was ambitious and hoped to take advantage of this opportunity to remove Du Kaishan from his post at the headquarters and replace him as the chief of staff of the front-line troops. He, Sui Changqing,
I don't have such big ambitions yet.
The reason is that he thinks that Du Kaishan's deployment is too simple. Moreover, without consulting his superiors and without replacing the troops, he transfers the troops staying in Mishan, which is a bit too playful. He
But he didn't expect that the head of the headquarters would think more than himself, the commander.
Looking at Sui Changqing who breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that the reason why the old man's face became more relaxed was because after the telegram was sent, he finally didn't have to worry about himself and worried about being punished by his superiors. Du Kaishan shook his head.
He smiled bitterly and said: "Old Sui, you still haven't figured out No. 1's character. If you had figured out his character, you would never worry about me."
"Old Sui, do you know what No. 1 values most among us senior commanders? Let me tell you, in addition to your ability, it depends on whether you have an overall concept in your heart and whether you can serve the overall situation.
And put yourself on the edge of the cliff. Can you dare to sacrifice yourself for the sake of the overall situation?"
"In addition to the level of one's own ability, the No. 1 general cares most about the overall situation. No matter how capable a person is, if he does not have the overall situation and has the courage to sacrifice his own spirit when necessary, he will never use it.
At least they will not be selected as military officers or senior commanders."
Having said this, Du Kaishan picked up a red and blue pencil and drew a big red circle on Dongning and Hunchun in the south on the map of Binjiang Province of Manchuria hanging on the wall of the command post: "This time the Second Column is heading south to Hunchun.
It seems to be fighting in two directions with us, but in fact it is a whole. The second column fought south with two dissatisfied brigades, facing the siege of two Japanese divisions, and even more. It is close to Hunchun
The Japanese and Korean troops are close at hand and can provide reinforcements at any time."
"Just like we are now integrated with the Second Column, the Kwantung Army and the Korean Army also have the same relationship. During the September 18th Incident, the Kwantung Army was insufficient in strength. The Korean Army crossed the border without authorization to provide support without orders from the Japanese base camp.
, also shows that the relationship between the two Japanese armies is extremely close."
"If the Kwantung Army really opens its mouth to rescue, the North Korean army, which now has two full-strength divisions and a large number of so-called garrison units or independent units, will never sit idly by and watch.
They will directly join the battle instead of waiting for orders from the Japanese base camp. If the 19th Division really takes action without authorization, then Lao Wang will not be facing two divisions."
"Once the second column is outnumbered, loses in Hunchun or is even surrounded. The Kwantung Army, reinforced by the North Korean army, is likely to take advantage of the situation and move north, and we will face two Japanese divisions or even more troops alone. Old Sui, what do you think?
Can our current strength be able to deal with the siege of two Japanese divisions alone?"
"And if Dongning is lost, the entire connected Muling, Mishan, and Hulin lines will be shaken. If the eastern front is turbulent, the western front and the old base areas will not be stable. Especially as a new area, the enemy agents have not been completely eliminated.
It is easy for problems to arise on the Western Front. We even paid a heavy price for this battle and the results we achieved in this battle are in danger of being in vain."
"Although the victory we achieved in this battle was great, the casualties were indeed heavy. Not to mention our column and the second column, the first and fourth columns now basically have no combat effectiveness. The potential of the soldiers in the Sanjiang old base area is
They have all been excavated. The entire military region has lost its ability to sustain operations in a short period of time."
"The reason why Lao Wang went south this time is that the headquarters wanted to rescue the workers there so that they could select suitable personnel to join the army. As the chief of staff, you, Lao Sui, are in charge of astronomy and geography at the top and trivial matters at the bottom. It's not that you haven't seen that in our
Before the eastward advance, the military region replenished the reservists in the old base areas."
"Old ones, young ones, even middle-aged people in their thirties and children of sixteen or seventeen years old. Although such personnel have completed preliminary training, how much real combat capabilities do you have?
Sui should have a number in mind. If you ask a man in his thirties to fight a bayonet fight with an opponent in his twenties who is in the prime of life, can he survive?"
"If we can't seize the opportunity, we should think more comprehensively. Once we are really passive, the military region that doesn't even have the capital to respond now will have nowhere to mobilize even if it wants to mobilize reinforcements. Is it really possible for those young people at Liu Changshun's place to do so?
Guadanzi, go to the battlefield? It is precisely because No. 1 saw this that he agreed to my plan to kill first and then report later."
"It's not that you, Old Sui, don't have this vision, otherwise as a newly formed unit, the headquarters would not select you as the chief of staff. You know better than me how much No. 1 attaches importance to the chiefs of staff of each unit. When choosing the chief of staff,
At that time, it was even more stringent than selecting military chiefs, and we have always been more selective than indiscriminate."
"It turns out that the conditions don't allow it, but you also know that before this battle, the headquarters even issued an order that no one who has not served as chief of staff should be promoted to brigade chief. Can you, old Sui, be selected by the headquarters?
Serving as the chief of staff of the newly formed fourth division shows that you have this ability."
"Your old Sui's ability to grasp the battle situation on the battlefield and his ability to judge the battlefield situation in a short period of time are all first-rate. But your biggest problem is that sometimes you worry too much about gains and losses, and look forward and backward. You, old Sui, are a soldier.
We need to show the decisive and bloody spirit of a soldier. Don't always look forward and backward, like an old woman."
"The only remaining lines in the Dongning Fortress Group are Chaori Mountain, Mulu Mountain and Qingshilizi. No matter how many troops they had before, the remaining Japanese army will be able to turn the world upside down if they exert all their strength. Unless
They can grow wings and run wherever they want, but they are just trapped in a lonely city."
"Even if we people can't rely on our current strength to completely eat them, we still have the ability to trap them tightly in the fortifications. And we still have firepower advantages, especially in artillery. We even have
Absolute firepower superiority. Coupled with weapons such as anti-tank rocket launchers and infantry directional mines that the Japanese do not have, as well as air superiority, what do we have to fear?"
"With these sophisticated equipment, as long as we make good use of them, even if we cannot completely eat the remaining Japanese troops in the remaining fortifications of Dongning Fortress, we will never let them overturn. Lao Sui, we and other troops have
It is a whole that loses everything and prospers everything. In many cases, giving up some things and suffering some small losses may not be a blessing."
"Old Sui, you are thoughtful, capable, and strong. If you broaden your horizons, broaden your mind, and stop worrying about many things, your success in the future will never be inferior to mine. As your old comrade and now
Upgrade, I really hope you can get rid of these habits as soon as possible."
"For the remaining thousands of Japanese troops here, Hunchun's Twelfth Division and Fifty-seventh Division, as well as the Korean army behind them, are our biggest opponents and the ones that need to be eliminated most. The Twelfth Division
Although the regiment also suffered heavy casualties in previous battles, its vitality is still there. Although the 57th Division lost more than half of its regiment in Shuangcheng, its main force is still there."
"There is also the intact 19th Division behind these two Japanese divisions. These are what we should consider most. Now we and the Second Column are grasshoppers on a rope, and no one can escape. Lao Wang
Although we are smart and capable, when we are surrounded by enemies on all sides, we will be surrounded by enemies if we are not careful. Now that we are fully assisting Lao Wang, we are actually helping ourselves."
Du Kaishan's words made Sui Changqing fall into silence. Although Du Kaishan's words were a bit harsh, they were a rare piece of advice. He knew that as a commander, he would never be silent for a long time if the chief of staff around him could say these words.
The recommendation was heartfelt. Thinking of this, Sui Changqing nodded slightly, indicating that he understood where his problem lay.
Looking at his old friend who seemed a little silent, Du Kaishan patted his shoulder wordlessly and said: "Old Sui, don't think too much. I know you are also doing good for the army, but many times, looking at the problem
We must look at the overall situation. We must give up what needs to be given up, and pay what needs to be paid. For the sake of the overall situation, we must persevere no matter how hard we grit our teeth this time. Let's give orders to all the troops."
After all, Sui Changqing is a veteran who has been tested on the battlefield and has a strong recovery ability. Moreover, he also knows that the commander can say these words for his own good. After hearing these last comforting words from Du Kaishan, Sui Changqing quickly
Then he regained his usual poise, sat down, gathered his thoughts, and drafted combat orders for each regiment according to Du Kaishan's ideas.
But what happened next left the two of them a bit baffled. The Japanese troops on the front line of Asahi Mountain, which had been cut off from water sources, remained motionless in the face of the current situation. Instead of forcibly retreating towards Qingshilizi, they huddled inside the fortifications.
, except for shooting desperately at the slightest sign of trouble, there was no sign of a breakout.
On the contrary, the Japanese troops on the Qingshilizi front line are desperately moving closer to the Asahi Mountain front line. The 1st Independent Brigade Regiment, which was originally thought to bear the greatest pressure, has become a leisurely person. And it was originally thought that they were trying to pinch the most powerful Japanese army at the moment.
The second group of soft persimmons was under great pressure.
